In pictures: Tributes paid to A Play, A Pie and A Pint creator, David MacLennan who has died aged 65

THEATRE star David MacLennan found out he had terminal motor neurone disease earlier this year.

Actors and theatre fans have paid tribute to David MacLennan who died aged 65.

TRIBUTES were paid last night to theatre actor and writer David MacLennan, who has died aged 65.

He helped to establish the 7:84 and Wildcat theatre companies, and more recently the popular A Play, A Pie and A Pint shows.

His reputation meant he was able to attract big names such as Robbie Coltrane and Elaine C Smith to perform in the series at Glasgow’s Oran Mor theatre – and his idea has been reproduced internationally.

David, who was married to Balamory star Juliet Cadzow, revealed earlier this year that he had terminal motor neurone disease.
